+### Draft vs. preview — what each Form sub-mode shows
+The two Form sub-modes intentionally read **different states**:
+
+- **布局 = the draft-confirmation surface.** It renders from the **draft**
+  (`fields` + `fieldGroups`, including unpublished changes) at the metadata level —
+  faithful per-type control previews, no object-data SQL. That is what makes it safe
+  *by construction*: a draft with structural changes has **no physical columns yet**
+  (DDL lands at publish), so any data-bound rendering of the draft would break.
+- **预览 = the published runtime reference.** It renders the real `ObjectForm` from
+  the **published** definition — deliberately *not* the draft, for the same physical
+  reason. Publishing is a **deliberate user action** (nothing auto-publishes); when
+  unpublished changes exist the preview says so ("有未发布改动 — 预览为已发布定义的
+  效果"), pointing to 布局 for draft confirmation and to the top-bar publish for the
+  post-publish effect.
+- **Deferred**: a data-bound *draft* preview requires the physical schema to exist
+  pre-publish (a structural-authoring / DDL-timing decision, tracked separately) —
+  it is not a rendering-layer feature and is intentionally out of scope here.
